I hear ya, Bobo.

I would say there are several very heavy parts that need to be taken into account here.

One of them is the many-faceted art of PR, which acts as the voice of persuasion for postive attitudes and peaceful remedies, and brings about changes in the mindset of the target audience when it is well executed. But PR only works up to a point.

The second issue is the undermining of peaceful policy by those who would foment war. Isama Bin laden could have promted his faith all he wanted in peaceful ways and never have drawn a bullet. But he influenced people into rabid states of mind. Why? Personal gain, or to satisfy personal psychosis, are two reasons that pop to mind. so the second branch is one of justice which intercedes against acts designed to promote hatred and violence. It also has to be able to provide justice between people and groups whose grievances have not been resolved in order to bring about enough communication for those grievances to stay at the civil level and never escalate into crimes or military excuses.

The third front and the one we know the least about is the remedy of insanity. Even fed and rested people are sometimes too insane to figure out peaceful solutions. Drugs are a lousy answer in most cases, and not many people know how to manage conditions like that with herbs or vitamins, and most forms of subjective therapy are very hit or miss and non-repeatable even in subjective terms. So a lot of money needs to go into that front to work up a genuine model that addresses physical and emotional screwups in individuals and groups.

Oi, such a lotta woik!!
